Lefse
Lefse is a Scandinavian flatbread made from mashed potatoes and flour. The potatoes are cooked and mixed with flour to form a dough. The dough is rolled out in rounds until very thin and is cooked on a large flat griddle.
Lefse can be eaten like a bread or a dessert. Some people put savory ingredients on them and make a wrap type sandwich (although the lefse is very thin and fragile so it's not as durable as tortilla wraps). Others prefer sweet flavors like sugar and cinnamon.
